Here's the bottom line.

For the last two years, I was forbidden from advocating for the Flamingo.

So it failed.

It failed.

They tried for the last two years.

It failed.

This year, I'm liberated.

October 3rd, the Wild Fork Meat and Seafood.

For those worried that you're riding off into the sunset, how are you doing, Ron? Let's talk about the next chapter.

Thanks.

No, I'm not riding off into the sunset, Greg.

What I'm doing is I retired from the county.

After 46 years of working under the county, the county administrates the zoo, I retired from the county, but I was given a tremendous opportunity by the Zoo Miami Foundation, which is the 501c3 foundation.

fundraising support arm of the zoo.

I've been given an opportunity to be the goodwill ambassador and conservation liaison for the foundation.

Is there an animal that taught you a lesson about humanity that you would like to share on the show?

Can you explain to me the where and why this happens the way that it happens and what is happening here, uh, with what is called, I guess, it's murmuration? Uh, what is, what is murmuration?

When birds synchronize their flight as part of a defense mechanism, it's the same thing, you see it in fish, except it's in the air.

If you watch a school of fish, watch a shark go in there or a sea lion go into a big school of fish, basically, they form this confusing dance, so to speak, which basically blends them all in with each other so the predator cannot focus on one animal.

Uh, it, it's the same thing in a lesser scale of, like, when a lion is going after a herd of zebra, all the zebra run together and all the stripes blend together.

It confuses the predator and it's harder for that predator to concentrate on a single animal.

More often than not, (laughs) it doesn't work out for the zebra, but, um, the safety is in numbers here with these animals.

And they know if they stay synchronized like that, again, it's very difficult to pick one out against the other to be predated on.

Uh, uh, uh, I would, that you would dismiss bears as clumsy?

Ta- take any one of the photos off of the wall and take us through a- a-

Oh, there's- there's Coach Spo, right there.

And there's LeBron and, uh, and Udonis Haslem, right there.

And right below them is Shaq.

Eh, no, I, um...

Right there.

Right there, Shaq.
